Mothers Can Only Do So Much!

Our Thoughts:

Mother? Oh, Mother? How many times have you heard those words? Often times they are reeking with excitement, or perhaps fear or anguish! I can remember rushing to the aid of my children, when I heard those words. Often, it was a hurt toe or finger or other part of the body, and I had to give a kiss to the boo-boo, assuring them it would be okay. Sometimes, it was sibling rivalry! Having had a boy and girl almost three years apart, there were many times I had to be a go-between in the squabbles that only little children can find to be in! Often, it's just the 'I AM' syndrome - I AM going to get my way!

Mothers can only do so much! We can help a child grow up to be an efficient adult. We can get them over their fears to great accomplishments. We can teach them right from wrong. We can teach them to love others. But, the one thing we can't do is give them saving Grace. We can bring them to the threshold of God's Kingdom, and there, we have to leave them in the hands of God. Mothers PRAY, believe, me and we pray much! We pray for protection over our children and our grandchildren. We pray for favor over the homes of our children. But, we can't pray them into the Kingdom of God.

That's where the Holy Spirit comes in to help Mom. We Mothers pray, God convicts and woos, and they react to His calling. Every Mother wants to see their children saved, and working for the Kingdom of God. Not every Mother has that privilege of seeing all her children in the service of the Lord. But, Mothers, HOLD ON! Don't let doubt enter your mind; God is faithful and He will hear your prayers and bring your children in!

His Thoughts

Acts 11:14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.

Our Cup:

Heavenly Father, as a Mother, I know I am able to do lots for my children. I know I cannot bring them into the Kingdom, but, I can teach them the way to saving Grace. Help me reach my children for your Kingdom. We give you praise! In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
